Why is this such a hot debate recently ?? I mean, you as a releaser have the right to release it in any size and quality you want. However, you are doing all these to satisfy another member's need. Now, if their need is a small file size with good enough quality, then shoudn't you give it to them that way ?? Now, you can still release it the way you want it, but people will not download. As many of us have seen it our self, if its a big file then very few people downloads it. It's a waste of your time and effort, you end up feeling bad and complain "why aren't anyone downloading my release?". So, without any arguments, it is very clear what to do as a releaser. You may try different sizes and then come to your own conclusion of right size, quality or even go around thread and witness the acceptable settings (codec, resolution, etc.).

My own settings: Xvid or DivX codec, depending on my mood! 352 X 250 or 288 resolution. 29 frames per sec / NTSC or sometime 23 if it's not so great natok. File target size = 130mb for a 20min natok gives you a target bitrate of 946 or sometime more depending on the duration.
